Ciena is a great place to work, explore and make connections and overall grow in the IT industry. For the past year or so I've been part of Ciena, the best part I've felt is that its a company a person can settle and give years especially later in their career. The culture is very employee centric and there are many verticals to work and contribute. They are very flexible wit the timings and the managers and colleagues are very supportive. I am working as a remote employee and their remote program is one of the very best in the industry. Also there is very less micro-management in the company which is refreshing as people contribute and work on their hours they are comfortable with.

Absolutely No Job Security. They will hire you and they will fire you within a year and give reasons for market economics. They will not directly do that, they will force you to resign and will force you to serve a notice period as well.
